WOOD-WORKING MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 271,014, dated January23, 1883,-

Application filed August 18, 1882.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH G. AUs'rIN, a citizen of the United States,residing in Oamden, New Jersey, have invented certain Iniprovements inWood-Working Machines, of which the following is a' specification.

The objectof my invention is to provide carpenters and otherwood-workers with a cheap and compact machine for performing the variousoperations of sawing, turning, boring, drilling, molding, 850., knownunder the general name of mill-work, and usually perlormed by means ofseparate machines.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1, Sheet 1, is a plan view of myimproved woodworking machine, the work-table and the parts above thesame being removed; Fig. 2, a 1011- gitudinal section of the machine;Fig. 3, Sheet 2, a view of the end of the machine, looking in thedirection of the arrow, Fig. 2; and Figs. 4. to 6, inclusive, detachedviews of parts of the machine.

A is the main frame of the machine, which supports the work-table B, aframe, D, projecting laterally from one end of the said frame A, asshown in Figs. 1 and 2. v

To hearings on the frame A is adapted the driving-shaft a, to whichpower is applied by hand or by a belt from any adjacent shaft, saidshaft ahaving a spur-wheel, b, which gears into pinions 1) b the formeron a shaft, d, and the pinion b on a spindle, f, both shaft and spindlebeing adapted to suitable hearings on the frame.

The spindle f carries a circular saw, 9, and also serves as the spindleof a lathe, the end of'the spindle projecting beyond the frame A, andbeing adapted for the reception of a faceplate, chuck, or tool, in thesame manner as the spindle of an ordinary lathe. A tail-stock, F, isadapted to slide on the frame'l), and to act inconjunction with thespindle f, to constitute a turning-lathe, an adjustable tool-rest ordog, G, being also combined with the frame D, as shown'in Figs. 1 and 2.

The spindle falso serves as a means of operating ajig-saw, H, a crank,h, on the end of the spindle having a pin adapted to a slotted plate, t,on the lower lever J of the saw-frame. Said saw-frame comprises twolevers, J, one hung to bearings on the frame A and the (No model.)

other to hearings on the ceiling, roof-joist, or some other availablesupport above the table B, the rear ends of the levers being connectedby an elastic cord, wire, or other suitable medium, so as to impart theproper degree of tension to the saw-blade H, which is hung at the upperend to aguided slide, 70, and is connected at the lower end by means ofa link, m, to the slotted plate t, a transverse bolt on the linkcarryingblocks adapted to the slotted guides on the table B, so that the saw isprevented from shaking at the lower as well as the upper end, andlateral steadiness is thereby insured. (See Figs. 4c and 5.)

The shaft 61 carries a pulley, p, round which and round anotherpulley-31 above the table B passes a band-saw, n, the pin on which thepulley 1) turns being carried by a slide adjustable vertically in ahanger, s, so that the saw may be kept under proper tension when atwork, and the application of the saw to or its removal from the pulleysreadily effected."

The peripheries of the pulleys p and 10 are preferably clothed withrubber, leather, or like material to insure proper frictional contact ofthe saw therewith.

When one of the saws is being used the others are generally thrown outof gear, and for this reason the pinions b b are preferably soconstructed that they can be readily clutched to or released from theirshafts.

In some cases it is desirable to give the bandsaw n a verticalreciprocating movement, instead of a continuous movement in onedirection, and in order to effect such a movement of said saw 02, Iprovide the shaft 01 with an arm, t, which can be connected by a rod,11, with the pin of the crank it on the spindle f,

(see Fig. 6,) the rotation of the spindle impart,

receiving movement from the spindlef by. means of bevel-gearing w andthe shaft M,.

projecting at the upper end through the table B, and being adapted forthe reception of a boring-tool or cutter-head, the two shafts beingconnected by a straight belt, 00, and a crossed belt, at, and the shaftIWI having suitable fast and loose pulleys for the be1ts, so that .saidshaft can be driven in either direction.

When the shaft M has to turn in one direction only, one of the belts maybe dispensed with. I The top or table B is pivoted to the frame A at therear of the same, and the front end of the table is acted upon by camsor eccentrics, as shown in Fig. 3, so that said table can be readilyelevated or depressed at the front end in order to decrease or increasethe projection main advantages of my invention being the fewness andsimplicity of the parts employed, directness in the transmission of thepower, and the convenient arrangement of the several parts, so that butone flat work-table is required.

I claim as my invention 1. The combination of the frame A, its table B,and the laterally-projecting frame D, having a tail-stock, F, with thespindle f, carrying a circular saw, 9, and adapted to hearings on theframe A in line with the frame D and its tail-stock, as set forth.

2. The combination of the frame A, its table B, and thelaterally-projecting frame D, having a tail-stock, F, with the-spindlef,having a circular saw, 9, and crank h, and adapted to hearings on theframe A in line with the frame D and its tail-stock, as set forth.

3. The combination of the frame A and its table B, the spindle f, withits saw g, pinion b and crank h, the saw-frame J, the shaft d, with itspulleyp and pinion b, the pulley p, and saw n, and the driving-shaft a,having a spur-wheel, b, gearing into said pinions b and W, as set forth.

4. The combination of the frame A and its table, the spindlef, theband-saw n, and pulleyspp, the shaft d, the pinions 11 b the shaft a,with its spur-Wheelb, the vertical shafts K and M, arranged diagonallyopposite each other, the bevel-gears w, and the belts connecting theshafts K and M, as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

JOSEPH G. AUSTIN.
